Lower Load Stabiliser Straps

What are the Lower Load Stabilizer Straps?

All effective backpack design will include Lower Load Stabilizer Straps that connect the harness at the top of the backpack lower compartment, to the Hip Belt. The Lower Load Stabilizer Straps on either side of each Hip Belt minimize backpack sway at the base of the backpack and provide for effective weight transfer to the lower back.

How do you use the Lower Load Stabilizer Straps?

If scrambling or climbing, loosen the Lower Load Stabilizer Straps to allow for hip movement and tighten the Shoulder Straps to put more of the weight on the shoulders. When walking an even path, pull these two Lower Load Stabilizer Straps simultaneously to draw the backpack close to the back and into the lumbar region, this will provide for a greater distribution of weight on the lower back than the shoulders.
